Dangerous question to ask in this forum :laugh:

I'd take a look at the spec threads at the top of the forum to see what people are spending or recommending

Also, alot will depend on what budget you have and whether you feel comfortable building yourself

Everyone has to start somewhere though and about £140 ATM but more in summer
 
Looking at the spec online, that model has a fairly slow CPU and Integrated GPU, so neither of those are going to be great for gaming (unless your happy with lower resolutions and detail levels)

Personally, i would save your budget up until you have some more money, as anything you spend now probably won't give you any real
longevity

If you have to buy something now, i'd go for a dedicated Graphics card (something like a Nvidia 750Ti or AMD R7 260x/R9 270x), the other limiting factor in your PC is that it only has a 350w PSU so you can't have anything which draws too much power

When you have more budget, i'd go for new PSU, motherboard and CPU

Im getting a 650w off my mate soon anyway
 
Some good advice there. Get a new GPU now to get you started, then save up for the rest.

AVF has a great Computer Classified section too if you want to make your cash go further still.

That would give you alot more scope in terms of the graphics card

Also, i see that your current machine has 4GB DDR3 1600MHz, so you could make sure that your next Motherboard supports that and double it up to 8Gb fairly cheaply i would imagine
